    Dear Brothers & Sisters: These are uncertain times. The COVID-19 health crisis and the state of emergency that has been declared means we are operating in quickly changing circumstances that are hard to predict. Making this more challenging is that clear direction from employers has proven difficult to obtain. Understandably, IAMAW members are urgently seeking…

    Bulletin-003 – Air Canada Finance – New CLC Sick Policy

    Dear Brothers and Sisters,
    Recently, your Committee of General Chairpersons met with Air Canada Labour Relations to discuss
    changes to the sick leave provisions of the Canada Labour Code (CLC).
    Members are advised that the new sick leave provisions of the CLC have been integrated into the legacy
    sick leave provisions contained in our Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA).
    Under the CLC, federally regulated employees are entitled to accrue up to ten (10) paid sick days per
    calendar year. As of January 1, 2023, employees were allocated three (3) paid sick days and will further
    accrue one (1) day of paid sick leave per month up to a maximum of ten (10) days per calendar year.
    For 2024 and subsequent years, one (1) paid day of sick leave per month will be accumulated as of
    January 1st, up to the maximum of ten (10) paid days per calendar year. Unused CLC sick days will be
    carried over into subsequent years up to the maximum of ten (10) sick days per calendar year.
    Note that CLC paid sick days do not count as occurrences under LOU 10.04 of the CBA and are not
    subject to the associated penalties or time windows, but your legacy collective agreement rights
    remain intact.
    Starting January 1, 2023, Members accessing sick days will have their accumulated CLC sick
    bank debited first. If/once the CLC bank is exhausted, any additional sick days will be applied in
    accordance with the existing (CBA) legacy sick leave provisions.
    The CLC states that employers may request medical substantiation for absences lasting five (5) days
    or longer. At this time Air Canada has not advised of any amendments to their Attendance
    Management Policy.
    In solidarity,
    Dave Flowers
    President & Directing General Chairperson
